| Does reincarnation go against all Christian biblical beliefs?
Posted: 11/7/2005 7:56:01 PM | | I've always came to the terms that God will see my heart no matter "what" and be fair or just to me in the end!! As are lots of people, I am confused about many things with religion! I believe in Christianity, yet I like the many philosophies and beliefs of reincarnation around the world. Many other religions believe in reincarnation!! But does our Christian bible mention anything about it at all? If anybody can come up with a quote or passage from the bible, which even remotely suggests "reincarnation", I'd love to hear it!! | |

I did some research on the subject, and couldn't find much supporting reincarnation in Christian doctrine.
That's too bad for them. | |

there is no doctrine in christianity that includes re-incarnation.......there is nothing in mathew 11, or 17....i don't see it in galatians.......the passage in rev 20 ,5 referrs to the thousand year reign, the martyrs were 'resurrected' (not re-incarnated )! | |

The bible is on a need to know basis. Some things we simply do not need to know. | |

I'm sorry you can study the bible over and over and you will not find a teaching on reincarnation. | |

I think Jesus states it quite eloquently:
Mat 11:13 For the Law and all the Prophets prophesied up to the time of John,
Mat 11:14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.
Mat 11:15 Let the person who has ears listen! | |

Christ died for our sins and by His stripes we are healed. Karma says that what goes around comes around and that leaves out all possobilities of healing or forgiveness. Christianity soul belief is the redemption of sins and powerful healing. | |

Posted: 11/8/2005 12:48:22 PM | | Accually the bible does mention reincarnation. But not that it is right. Christens belive that reincarnation is a demonic hold on people. That people that belive in reincarnation will go to hell. Sorry buddie. Looks like you need to look for a new religion. | |

Posted: 11/8/2005 3:29:46 PM | | I don't know how true this is, but I once heard that the "Vatican" took reincarnation scriptures out of the original 66 books, which was compressed into the one book we now know today as the bible!!! They took it out to gain more exclusive control of their Christian followers, because reincarnation was taking away a lot of the churches power as people were tending to focus on it over Jesus!! Don't ask me where I heard that, I just did a long, long time ago, and I can't remember from who I heard it from!! The fact remains, however, that there were originally 66 bible books, which were chopped up to form our one bible. So what information was taken out? Thank you all!!! | |

Posted: 11/8/2005 6:06:57 PM | I don't know where you heard that from. They have recently discovered the dead sea scrolls which is the oldest written word of scripture. They have also found many peices of pttery in excavation finds that have scripture on it and nowhere is there anything about reincarnation. The Bible wasn't a bool originaly only scripture. There are many more books of scripture that isn't even in the Bible. Such as the "Apochrypha scripture". There are about 70 other scripture that wasn't put in the Bible because it was voted as not inspired scripture. The Bible isn't actually one book but 66 books according to which Bible you get but the most common only has 66 books.
Skeeter,
Can you give scripture where it says anything about reincarnation? | |

Posted: 11/8/2005 6:20:49 PM | | i think the key to realizing that re-incarnation isn't Biblically sound is to look at the OT....the OT stands the test of time, and it is safeguarded by the Jews....so it wasn't altered!...Jesus did not go against OT teachings per se...he just simply fullfilled the prohecies in them....thus it stands to reason that reincarnation was not a christian principle, regardless of how the NT was edited!!!.......besides, reincarnation in and of itself, would have made both the crucifixion and resurrection pointless! | |

It's quite interesting how your post about this was ignored. If we are to believe the bible as truth, then Elijah is definately proof of reincarnation.. It isn't that we simply do not need to know, it's that we do not want to know....or don't want others to know that the indoctrination they have been teaching all these years is false. | |

Posted: 11/12/2005 12:31:40 PM | Does any of this really matter? We can't really know that god exists, much less heaven or reincarnation. It's belief, not based on reproducible evidence (not that this matters to most people).
Which leaves us with philosophy and ethics. Every religion boils down to a few essentials, such as kindness, tolerance, love, etc. What else matters?
Besides, when we die we'll learn the answer or we'll just die and that's it. In the meantime I'll just try to live a good life and the rest will take care of itself, despite anyone's dogma, karma, or agenda. | |
